About Welland Primary School

Welland Primary School is a state primary in the Malvern Hills area of Worcestershire, currently educating 131 pupils against a capacity of 140. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 33 applications for just 18 places, with 17 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.83 tells you this is a school local families are keen to get into. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.3%, which is a touch above the national average for primary schools (typically around 13-14%) but not dramatically so, suggesting a broadly mixed catchment. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 4 through to 11. Gareth Williams is the headteacher, and the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, including the full graded inspection in June 2023.
